cutting blade. Wipe over surface of your Hedge trimmer with a dry cloth.
LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the cutting blades before and after each
use. Before lubricating, make sure your Hedge trimmer is disconnected from the
mains electricity supply. Apply the oil so that it runs between the two blades.
Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected and oiled occasionally during use.

Clean your Hedge trimmer thoroughly. Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Visually inspect the Hedge trimmer for any worn or damaged parts.
